Beez,
Interestingly cool guitars, but the drums need work. Wanted to hear some kind of vocals. And the 1:00 - 2:00+ seems to never end. Just my opinions. The song has potential though. But at times it doesnt really wound like its going anywhere. It could be the arrangement.

Thanxs alot for listening,sondriven!
I agree about the drums needing work.I've been using an Alesis HR-16 for the last 11 yrs,and this is my first effort using PCDrummer.I haven't quite found my feet w/it.It's also the first time I've recorded each drum as its own track.Live and learn!
I can also see your point about the song not really going anywhere.In a way,that doesn't bother me,because it's real purpose is just audio violence.The fact that 1:00 to 2:00 seems to drag is bothersome though,seeing the tune is so short to begin with.Thanx for the insight,'cause the one thing I don't want it to be is boring!

yeah, dont take everything i said as a negative though, i do think the song could really take off and have more violence with a couple variations or something. I used a HR16 for about a year. Glad to hear youre trying other options.
So are you recording on the PC also?
I do a few things seperate from the computer. I think that if everything is done in that realm then recordings seem to get stale. I do some programming, and then Ill actually play some parts to help give it a more human feel.
My set up if youre curious:
900mhz HP with WinME and FruityLoops installed
Akai DPS16
Softsynths
ROland Juno
Rode NT1
Presonus Pre
Alesis Compressor
Gibson SG - its the only guitar i use
With this i can make sounds like this song:

feel free to give it a listen. People seem surprise at some of the thick sounds i get out of my not-so-advanced setup
....but to make this your thread, I think you should try to mix up things you record. Like if you have good latency with your computer, record the snare on a seperate track, like i think you said you did, but actually record it in real time with you hitting the midi controller or whatever controls the samples in your program. I just think this kind of stuff is helpful in reproducing more looser (non-machine like) programs.
Hope i can help. Good luck

Yeah,everything is on pc,using N-track.Heres my pitiful setup:
Celeron 533
Abit BE6-2 mobo
192MBsdram
maxtor 30gb 7200HD
Ensoniq pci soundcard(16 bit)
bastardised strat w/2 humbuckers
crybaby wah
Ibanez whatever bass
Korg A-6 guitar processor
Absolutely shitty Aiwa speakers(I have some decent B&W's,but the tweeters blown in one of them,gotta get that fixed)
And,replacing the HR-16(which I adore working with,but feel I have to replace),PCDrummer pro!
I believe I can overcome my deficiencies in the drum aspect by getting better at programming.Real time drum playing,with my setup,style of music, and patience is not a viable option.I definately appreciate the advice though!
